My mom picked up a television that my aunt and uncle were giving away, and is driving into town with it at the moment. She gave me a call twenty minutes ago demanding that I be home so that she can drop it off and won't have to take it into her house for my friends and I to come by at a more convenient time to pick it up.
Now, when I explained to her that it would not be convenient at all for me to leave where I just got to (and had made prior plans to be for a while) in order to be home to receive the TV... she fucking made it out like she'd paid copious amounts of money and was going out of her way in order to drop it off when neither is the case. She got it for free and dropping it off is along the fucking way.
Now, I long ago concluded that arguing with my mother is pointless because she's -- apparently -- never ever wrong ever in all eternity, so I went on to the second point that it is extremely rude of her to demand me to drop plans I made in order to accommodate her poor planning. She didn't call be at all for the past two days to warn me beforehand that she would have wanted me to be home this evening because she wanted to drop the television off TONIGHT, no, of course not. Instead she called me two hours before she was supposed to get into town in order to tell me to be home.
She didn't even apologize for putting me on the spot like that, oh no, she handed me some bullshit excuse about being too busy packing and shit.
So she was too busy to give me a fucking 2-minute phone call, but I can't be too busy to make the twenty-minute trip home to make up for her failure, and essentially fuck up my plans for the rest of the night? If I wasn't getting a TV from this deal, I would have told her to get over herself and hung up.

What's with you and televisions?

I eventually intend to have an entire wall covered with televisions all set to different channels so that I can track arbitrary patterns in the airwaves in order to formulate a plan for world domination based on subliminal messaging.

^ That'd be awesome.
Also, I hate your mom. But remember: No woman is ever wrong. Ever. |
